But interestingly, a little while ago a guy got fired from Nintendo America because he said what the Japanese Nintendo's business methods were when making a game. Basically it stiff biscuits for the rest of the word, if it won't sell well in Japan, Nintendo won't touch the project. If Nintendo is like that, and they are a big world global franchise, who says avex is not like that, though avex market would mainly be focused on Japan. They might just throw us a bone every now and again, because they know we bring in some serious $$$ for avex for ayumi. They just don't want to spend much money on us with ayu things.
Maybe that's why ayu is so good to us outside Japan fans, then her Asian fans, she gives us more close up chances to see her when she's abroad.
